Yesterday I had the prestigious honour of delivering a webinar for the award winning US site Classroom 2.0 LIVE on the use of iPads to enhance teaching and learning. A summation of months of research and enquiry, it was wonderful to have such an incredible opportunity to share my findings, top tips and app suggestions with a worldwide audience. I was delighted with the positive response from the chat and on Twitter.
